The San Francisco Bay Area is fighting gun violence and winning. Why did gun deaths drop in the Bay Area, and are there lessons for Baltimore?
Tougher gun laws, criminal justice reform, and well-funded violence reduction programs are being credited with a significant drop in shootings in the Bay Area. Could it work in Baltimore? And what impact is rising gentrification and inequality having on violence?
That’s the question we will examine in our 7th Real Talk Tho newsroom in the community series; are there other solutions to the city’s stubbornly high homicide rate that might work here?
We will be joined by people who have worked with similar initiatives like Safe Streets in Baltimore, and also hear from activists in San Francisco.
Panelist:
Alex Long, Violence Interrupter, Safe Streets
Letrice Gant, Organizer, Baltimore Ceasefire
David Harris, President, McElderry Park Community Association and Bay Area peace activist
Real Talk Tho takes place every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month at Ida B’s Table.
Doors open at 6:00PM
The program starts at 7:00PM
This is a general admission event seating is limited. Arrive on time to ensure a seat.

Real News Network seems founded by maybe a canadian communist and or canadian socialist who wants to change america.
They gentrified the Bay and the killers could not afford to live thier any more. Weed is legal that always helps.
If a body is not recovered and the person is over 18 they are considered missing.
San Fransisco is diverse, Baltimore is NOT diverse. Diverse communities can improve easier
